Creating Shared Strategies for the IE Grantmaking Community

Join us for a pivotal IEFA member meeting as we chart the course for our next chapter. This session is dedicated to the formal discussion of our Strategic Sustainability Plan, led by Lisa Watson.

At this meeting, we will pull review and discuss the draft of IEFA Roadmap and Key Priorities. This document outlines the key priorities proposed to strengthen our impact and ensure long-term sustainability over the coming years. You can expect to have time to:

• Ask questions regarding the strategic direction of the Roadmap.
• Offer feedback on proposed initiatives.
• Ensure the plan reflects the evolving needs of our members and the unique “moment” our region is currently navigating.

We are also honored to welcome Native Americans in Philanthropy to our meeting!

As we look toward the spring, NAP will share a special presentation regarding their upcoming 2026 Annual Conference, taking place this April at the Riverside Convention Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the movement to Indigenize philanthropy and how our members can engage with this powerful network of tribal leaders, practitioners, and visionaries.
